PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Billings Clinic has petitioned to vacate 9th Avenue North between North 28th Street and North 29th Street, North 28th Street between 7th Avenue North and 9th Avenue North, and the south half of North 28th Street between 10th Avenue North and 11th Avenue North. This ROW will be given to the Billings Clinic in exchange for property near the library. Currently, there are water mains, sanitary sewer mains, storm drain mains, and private utilities running through the proposed vacated area. Billings Clinic will enter into an easement agreement that will allow full access to these lines and will require Billings Clinic to relocate the public utilities if they ever propose to construct a structure over the utilities.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

- Approve the vacation of the above-mentioned right-of-way; or
- Do not approve the vacation of the above-mentioned right of way.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Right of Way is being vacated to Billings Clinic in exchange for property for library purposes.
RECOMMENDATION
